Peak Planet

Peak Planet has been setting the standard for climbing Kilimanjaro since 2008. We hire the best and most experienced Kilimanjaro guides. They are all Wilderness First Responder certified. We staff our climbs with a 1:2 guide to climber ratio. Our guides conduct daily health checks to measure pulse, temperature, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation every day. We are members of the Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project (KPAP) – a non-profit organization that monitors Kilimanjaro operators to protect the welfare of porters. We are also a member of Leave No Trace. One of our main goals is to offer a great value for high-quality services. So we evaluate every expense carefully to ensure that every cost we incur makes a tangible difference in your experience. We want to have the best service at a fair price without compromising our high standards.

Recently was with a group that climbed Kilimanjaro via Northern Route with Peak Planet along with a fly in 3-day safari. The climb experience was excellent from start to finish. It was well organized, and the lead guide Davis and his team were true professionals....More

This company gave us a truly amazing experience. We climbed Kilimanjaro in February and the whole thing was outstanding. The guides are incredibly experienced and professional and the porters are extremely hardworking. And overall these are genuinely good people who give you the once in...More

I was attempting to be the oldest heart transplant recipient to summit Kilimanjaro. I selected Peak Planet based on the recommendation of a woman I met in the Kilimanjaro airport a year ago. When I looked for a company, I wanted one that stressed safety....More

Thank you for your great review! It was awesome having you climb with us.

Kilimanjaro is a very unique adventure, and I was so pleased with the experience we had using Peak Planet. First of all, Peak Planet helped us coordinate the pre-climb logistics, which were fairly complicated and changed a bit. Secondly, PP worked with us on the...More

Thank you for your heartfelt review. We really appreciate hearing when our clients have had an amazing trip.

The sleeping tent was adequate but not anything special. The mess tent did leak in the last couple of days when there was heavy rain and I thought it could be bigger to accommodate all 12 of us.
We started hiking at midnight in hopes t.o summit at 6:30A but it took us until 10:30A b/c the snow storm
Pre climb night was spent at a local lodge. It has a courtyard in the middle and has Mt Kili in the backdrop. Our room was big, clean and had patio but the wifi and hot water were unpredictable. Communication was lacking about what was included - before we left for the climb, we were all charged with different amount of money for food and water consumed there (the food was just served and we weren't told of the costs beforehand so you may want to clarify before you ask consume anything so to avoid surprises).
